An urban apiary in Parc de la Ciutadella

In an interview in betevé 91.0 fm, Josep Perelló explained the project Urban Bees. In one rooftop of the Castle of the Three Dragons a hive has installed a sensor that sends real-time environmental data such as temperature, humidity, weight of the hive and the in and out flow of bees. The analysis of these data can be used to learn about the “health” of the city. Audio of the interview and additional video. [IN CATALAN]
